Eh, at least they were still innovating for the most part under Jobs. They doubled down on milking and diming with Cook.

If you think that, I'm guessing that you don't own any of their products. Everything is still just as good as under Jobs.
Nah. Iphone 7 is nothing extra over 6 and look at their new iSpeaker. Caused a massive drop in the share price. It doesn't even do half of the stuff that Amazon And Google ones do.
Just because I have owned iPhones doesn't mean I respect the company. They were the first to make a portable phone available that had live mapping in Japan, something I deperately needed. I stuck with them for a few gens. But computers absolutely no way.

Drevo Gramr 75% Mechanical Keyboard only £26 on the auction site. I am very impressed for the price it has a braided cord, brightness adjustable backlight and a couple of different animation functions. It does have media keys behind a function modifier as well. I have little to no experience of Mechanical Keyboards so I can't say what the switches feel like. The backlight looks more blue in the picture but it is more white in person.
The only downside is the American Layout.

I upgraded from a 6 to a 7 plus about a month ago and I think the 7 plus is wonderful. OK it's not game changing, but it's a superb phone. We all know Siri is crap, though
I have had a Mac - I had a Mac Mini years ago, and I thought it was fantastic. The OS was lovely, very easy to use, but the hardware was also excellent and it way outlasted the PC I also had at the time. My sister also has a Macbook that after about 8 years is still running very nicely.
I guess people have different experiences, but the only real difference I've noticed since Jobs died is that iOS is a little less polished.
What did they innovate under jobs? (his last run with the company, not the groundbreaking 80's stuff before he got fired) AFAICR the last truly innovative thing Apple brought out was... probably the iTunes store.
Jobs was vehemently opposed to multiple iPhone sizes, so you wouldn't have a 7 plus on his watch.

Speaking of that damn keyboard, can anyone find a link to a US layout one in this country? I'm trying to find one to buy as a spare in the event my current one dies seeing as it is now discontinued - don't wanna pay out the ass for that wireless one.
I don't like the UK layout on the keyboard. That anorexic enter is atrocious.

He's dead, though.
Do try to keep up XD

Holy smoke batman, are those ghost hands operating that KB?
Off the top of my head the MacBook Air springs to mind, plus the iPad pretty much made tablets popular.
Love Apple computers, I'm a Windows nerd but I really dislike Windows 10 and most things MS bring out now. If it weren't for games, I wouldn't have a Windows PC in my house.
Except for a better camera, better screen, more powerful CPU, more RAM, 3d touch, waterproof etc etc.

Exactly. Man I love 3D touch, such a good feature. The camera blows the previous one away. It's so fast. I could go on...

7 plus sized screen would be inconvenient on your wrist though. I can see his point.

Yeah it's a big speed bump over the previous one.

I really like this keyboard, the smaller keyboards look ace..

Yep I was concerned about a downscaled one but I haven't had any problems going from full size to this so far.
It is, to say the original came out 28 years ago !
